Cameron Graves: Planetary Prince
E anche il risultato ci sembra una replica a ranghi ridotti di Epic, con grande risalto alle ambientazioni sonore nelle quali confluiscono le visioni musicali del leader, che vanno da una fusion cosmica al jazz progressivo, da rimandi classicheggianti ad una spiritualità un poco manieristica attraversando territori latino-americani.
Il pianismo di Graves è sontuoso ed enfatico in piena sintonia con le lussureggianti composizioni, a tratti quasi barocco nella ricchezza di particolari e nella opulenza della resa sonora. La compattezza e l'empatia dell'ensemble contribuiscono a garantire a Planetary Prince un sicuro appeal presso un pubblico trasversale, ma al termine dell'ascolto si ha la sensazione che cotanta ricchezza scivoli via e si disperda nel mondo dei ricordi.
